As Harry Kane has a high chance of winning his first title in the Bundesliga, rumors of his return to the Premier League have surfaced.

El Nacional reported on the 23rd (Korea time) that Kane wants to leave Germany and return to England during the summer transfer market, and Liverpool is a strong candidate to sign him.

Kane transferred from Tottenham Hotspur to Bundesliga giant Bayern Munich in the summer of 2023.

So far, he has shown consistent scoring ability with 76 goals in 82 matches in Germany. However, he is still reported to want to finish his playing career in the Premier League.

Liverpool plans to actively move in the summer transfer market to strengthen their attacking lineup, and Kane has emerged as a suitable option in this context.

Currently, players such as Darwin Núñez, DIO Jota, and Luis Díaz are being discussed for potential transfers, while Mohamed Salah could also leave the team as a free agent (FA) after his contract expires, making it inevitable to reorganize the attacking lineup.

Football Insider reported on the 24th that "Liverpool intends to overhaul the squad this summer. They want to add Alexander Isak to their front line, but Newcastle is planning to make a re-signing offer with double the salary, which is likely to derail the deal. Kane has emerged as a top transfer target."

It continued, "Kane wants to finish his career in the Premier League, with Liverpool being a strong destination. Liverpool fans welcome the prospect of signing Kane, believing he will provide powerful firepower to the front line, often referred to as a scoring machine. There are also discussions that he could sign a 2+1 year contract."

The rumors of Kane's transfer to Liverpool are surprising everyone. Since Jürgen Klopp left, coach Arne Slot, who took over Liverpool, has successfully led the team this season.

Especially, Liverpool operated with the existing squad without special signings, earning praise as they led the Premier League with an overwhelming advantage. In cup competitions, such as the UEFA Champions League (UCL), they were eliminated, but Slot's first season is being evaluated as successful.

A major overhaul is expected this summer. Players like Mohamed Salah, Virgil van Dijk, and Trent Alexander-Arnold, whose contracts will expire, have not yet seen re-signing news, and resources like Darwin Núñez and Luis Díaz appear to be organized for release.

In particular, there are many gaps in the attacking line. Kane has become a new target for Liverpool, who need to sign a forward.

El Nacional reported that "Kane wants to finish his career in the Premier League. Liverpool can provide him with an ideal environment. Given that they have an ambitious project, a solid coaching structure, and a team capable of competing for titles, Kane is likely to prefer Liverpool."

It was also analyzed that Kane's desire to return to the Premier League could lead to difficult negotiations with Bayern Munich, but if Liverpool strongly pursues the transfer, his will could be a decisive factor.

Kane's contract is valid until 2027, but it is known that the contract with Bayern Munich includes a release clause that Kane can activate directly.

Recent reports indicate that his contract includes a buyout clause of approximately £64 million (12.1 billion won) in the summer of 2024, which is expected to drop to £54 million (10.2 billion won) in the winter of 2025.

This is lower than the transfer fee Bayern Munich desires, but Kane's determination may play an important role.

The reason Kane left Tottenham for Munich was to win titles. Kane transferred to Bayern Munich in August 2023, and despite scoring 280 goals in 435 matches with Tottenham, he never won a single trophy.

Kane, who left for Bayern Munich for his first title, aims to win the Bundesliga title and the UEFA Champions League this season.

Team Talk claimed on the 24th that "Liverpool will show shocking moves to acquire Kane in the summer transfer market. As rumors spread that Kane wants to return to the Premier League within 6 to 12 months, the buyout amount for Kane is £67 million (12.6 billion won), which will become £54 million (10.24 billion won) next winter. Kane wants to go to Liverpool to finish his career in the Premier League and England. Liverpool is a team that completely aligns with Kane's vision."
